Five hours, lost, gone without a trace..." These are the words of Brian Lackey, a troubled 18 year-old, growing up in the small town of Hutchinson, Kansas. Plagued by nightmares, Brian believes that he may have been the victim of an alien abduction. Local troublemaker Neil McCormick however, is the ultimate beautiful outsider. With a loving but promiscuous mother, Neil is wise beyond his years, having found what he perceived to be love from his Little League baseball coach. Now, ten years later, Neil is a teenage hustler and Brian is still obsessed with solving the riddles of his childhood. Based on the acclaimed novel by Scott Heim, the film version of "MYSTERIOUS SKIN" is both brilliant and difficult to watch.
